After Action Report
The Pacers squeaked past the Cavaliers 97-95. Ugly basketball, but the Pacers did just enough. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pacers came in with something to prove after a loss. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
